About WithumSmith+Brown, PC

THE SCOOP

People-focused for 40 years

Headquartered in Princeton, N.J., WithumSmith+Brown provides a
long list of services, including accounting, auditing, employee
benefit services, pension plans services, tax services, litigation
support, business valuation, insolvency services, transaction
advisory services, and management consulting. WS+B takes its name
from Frederick Withum, Leonard Smith, and Ivan Brown, who founded
their self-titled firm in 1974 in Middlesex County, N.J. The firm's
founders began their careers at larger accounting firms, and when
they struck out on their own, their idea was to provide
personalized service to companies that were still growing. They
also decided that they wanted their firm to be "people-focused,"
putting the emphasis on both client service and staff development.
At its inception, WS+B's business was conducted by six
professionals; today, the firm has a staff of 516, including 82
partners, many of which contribute articles and perspectives to
major news and trade media such as The Wall Street
Journal, Fox News Channel, Financial Executive
Magazine, Forbes.com, and INSIDE Public
Accounting. WS+B has 14 offices, located in New Jersey,
Pennsylvania, New York City, Maryland, Massachusetts, Colorado,
Florida and the Cayman Islands. It is affiliated with HLB
International, a global network of accountants and business
advisors.
